Τό’χα τάμα. I had promised myself I’d do it. The river and the canyon are spectacular. Like an idiot I dove right in and got the most vicious ice cream headache in the world in one second flat. I could only bear about two more minutes in the freezing waters. But I never felt cleaner in my life.
Unfortunately, the bridge over the beautiful river is pretty ugly, since Montenegro isn’t in the European Union and can’t get a zillion dollars from Brussels, so they can pocket half of it and then hire Santiago Calatarava to build them some spectacular eagle span across the canyon with whatever’s left. Like Greece.
Note: I’m still in Montenegro but will be jumping back and forth between countries, so expect “redux” posts on Macedonia and Kosovo.
